A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

MORNING TRIVIA: In his new book Milk It!: Collected Musings on the Alternative Music Explosion of the '90s (about which you'll be hearing more in the next few days), Chicago Sun-Times rock critic Jim DeRogatis reprints an entertaining interview he had with one of the bigger rock hitmakers of the past five years who had taken issue with the critic's writings on his band.

In answer to a comment about hype and the band, the lead singer replied:

Hype is something that our band has certainly eschewed. Our band has been, if not the most D.I.Y. next to Fugazi, then number two or three.

Name the hype-eschewing singer/band. Or guess. But don't Google, because that's cheating, and it puts you in the same boat as Stephen Glass, Albert Belle and Gerald Plecki when the day of judgment comes, and you don't want that.
